The Lakers have been linked to many NBA players as trade season approaches and in a recent appearance on ESPN, Adrian Wojnarowski just added Bruce Brown to the list of players that Los Angeles is reportedly interested in.

Zach LaVine, Dejounte Murray, Tyus Jones and Collin Sexton are among the players that have been previously reported as Lakers’ trade targets.

D’Angelo Russell appears to be the current Laker who is most likely to be traded, though D-Lo has been playing well for Los Angeles later, as own Rob Parks recently relayed.

Latest on Evan Mobley

Evan Mobley remains out of the lineup this weekend but the former No. 3 overall continues to make progress as he recovers from his knee injury.
